RF SIGNAL TRANSMISSION IN BATTERY PACK

摘要

A battery packaging technique for a portable communications device encloses two or more RF transmission lines under or within a metallic side seal of a battery pack of the device. The RF transmission lines are controlled in this manner during assembly and are well-constrained across the width and thickness of the pack, but at the same time are free to slide along the length of the battery to allow for easy assembly to the device. The metallic side seal may comprise a metal foil, and in an embodiment the RF transmission lines are color-coded so that they can be accurately assembled to the finished device.

主权项

1. A battery assembly for a portable electronic device, the battery assembly comprising:
a battery having a side, and a side seal overhanging the side; at least one radio frequency (RF) transmission line with a connection point at each end, the at least one RF transmission line being located along the side of the battery and the side seal wrapping down over the at least one RF transmission line; and a tab secured over the side seal to hold it in place over the at least one RF transmission line.
